Camille is determined to rake her own pile of leaves—all the way up to her knees! Her pile grows bigger alongside the piles made by Daddy and her little brother, Jayden. WHOOSH! After raking leaves to the top of her boots, a giant breeze blows the pile back down to her ankles. But Camille won’t be stopped until she gets the job done—a knee-high pile, the perfect size for . . . jumping in!
A note from early math learning expert Marlene Kliman shows how to use the book to help young children explore different sizes and measurements in everyday settings.
